    One of my dictionaries says a smirk is “To smile in a way that is affected, smug, insolent or contemptuous.”

    A smile typically suggests amusement, and I see nothing in that expression suggestive of amusement. I would call it something more like “displeasure at finding myself having to once again clean up someone else’s mess.” So maybe not actual disgust, but something related.

      Thank you for that. I was really confused.
